The restaurant first drew Fieri's attention in 2021 when it was featured on his show Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives for its Dilly Dilly Pickle Pizza. Landing on the top pizzeria list marks a step up in national recognition for the business.\n\nThe attention is expected to bring more visitors and curiosity to Fairbanks, with customers adding Hungry Robot to their travel and dining lists. After the 2021 feature, the restaurant saw a 40 to 50 percent increase in business within the first month.\n\nOwners are preparing for a similar surge now that the pizzeria has made the new list. Wait times at Hungry Robot are already on the rise, and the restaurant is looking to bring on additional staff to keep up with demand.",
